Project ASSIST with Windows is pleased to announce the availability of a
new tutorial for Braille only computer users.

The Microsoft Internet Fundamentals with JAWS 6.1 and the ALVA Satellite
570 
Tutorial for Beginners is ready! The fourteen lessons in this tutorial
cover a range of topics, from "browsing the web" to sending and
receiving e-mail messages. Step-by-step instructions guide the beginning
Internet user through basic concepts and procedures needed to get
started working with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.

This unique tutorial uses keyboard instruction and includes keystrokes
and strategies for JAWS 6.1 and the ALVA Satellite 570. Step-by-step
exercises provide hands-on experience for the Braille only user in using
JAWS and the ALVA Satellite 570 to read the Internet Explorer and
Outlook Express screens.

Electronic Tutorial: If you purchase the electronic version of the
tutorial, you will receive a disk containing the exercise files and a
Setup.exe file. The Setup.exe file is an executable file that
automatically creates the C:\Assist\ folder on your computer and copies
the exercise and tutorial files to that folder. You will receive the
tutorial files in these formats - Word, BRF (Braille Ready Format),
Duxbury Print (DXP), and ASCII Text. These files make up the electronic
version of the tutorial.

This tutorial in electronic format only costs $25.00. (Iowans are
subject to 6% sales tax).

5 tapes. (The tutorials are recorded at slow speed (15/16 isp).)
